Spikes in mortality persisted through early 2022, driving up the overall average excess mortality for the year, the analysis said.

"Employers have long believed they had already “cost-shifted” as much as possible through higher premiums, copays and deductibles. But with costs reaching historic levels, that thinking is changing. Employers are rethinking their strategies and placing renewed emphasis on shared responsibility by asking employees to play a more active role in both managing expenses and improving health outcomes."
